I have been concerned this would happen, and feel strongly that ill considered projects that are not about bettering the neighborhood, but rather for profit, that push more affordable options out the door for lower income folks is unacceptable. I love the nature of this area of Florence and believe the historical nature of the buildings and the stories they hold within them make this a beautiful place to call home. Demolition, rather than upgrade destroys that history. Please take my concerns into consideration. Thank you, Lisa Schmidt 634 Riverside Drive Florence Ma 01062 Lisa Schmidt aka Lani Nahele She, Her, Hers Movement Educator Bodyworker Dance Professor; Springfield College (413) 570-5401 https://www.mypronouns.org/ (a fabulous source I found on my friend Nikki's page that explains pronouns and their importance).
